How To Regain Trust

• Trust is easily lost and extremely hard to regain. If you get it back, it will not be the same level of trust as you had at the beginning.
• An apology where you accept the blame is essential. Don’t try to spread it around and don’t try to justify your actions. Not accepting the blame will weaken your apology or will turn it into something else.
• Be sincere.
• Regaining trust won’t happen overnight. It will require a lot of time.
• You can use the principle of reciprocity to help you out. People tend to do to you what you do to them. So if you are totally trusting with your partner, he or she may start trusting you.
• Remember that your partner will be far less forgiving should you violate his or her trust again.
